Rheumatic fever as a pathology of connective tissue

Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that is associated with a pathological inflammatory process in the connective tissue system, with a favorite localization from the cardiovascular system.

The main cause of the disease is human infection with hemolytic streptococcus. The second reason for the development of this condition is considered to be a hereditary predisposition. Among the pathogenetic features of the development of the disease, the main role is assigned to inflammatory immunological and autoimmune processes.

Features of symptomatic manifestations in acute rheumatic fever.

The damage to the heart itself in arthritis manifests itself in the form of carditis, all the membranes of the heart can be affected at once, or any of them in turn. When the myocardium is directly affected, the symptoms manifest themselves in the form of shortness of breath, increased heart rate, signs of fever, and also important disruptions in the contractile function of the myocardium, which is reflected in detail during an electrocardiographic examination. If the inner lining of the heart was involved in the inflammatory process, then the symptoms are characterized by damage to one of the valves. Inflammation of the pericardial sac develops quite rarely and is practically asymptomatic. Rheumatoid polyarthritis is also considered one of the symptomatic manifestations of rheumatic connective tissue damage.

This condition is based on an exudative type of inflammation in large joints. Rheumatoid polyarthritis is characterized by the appearance of symmetrical soreness among the joints, the pain is able to migrate from one joint to another. Swelling and typical redness can be seen on the skin of the affected area, which corresponds to the inflammatory process. After the disease progresses, the joint gradually begins to transform. And it is characterized by a typical deformity with a significant functional impairment. Rheumatic chorea is characteristic mainly of children, especially when they are in their teens.

In addition, rheumatic fever causes typical lesions on the skin, inflammation of the pleura and damage to the renal parenchyma.
